Hello and happy holidays to the Heart & Sole Mafia! As a special thank you to all of you, I am proud to present AMForte Clarity, one of SL's most popular performers, live at Heart & Sole!

If you aren't yet familiar with this singer, you are in for a real treat. AMForte's sweetly soulful voice is perfect for her music, reminiscent of Our Lady Peace, The Cranberries, and Alannis Morissette, but with her own unique style. Come and dance or just sit and relax for an hour with a great artist.

Also, you can look forward to a great gift...I won't tell you what it is yet, but whether you've been naughty or nice, I've checked my list and you're on it. Don't miss out!

Join me on Wednesday, December 23rd at 12noon SL time for great music, friends and fun with my special guest AMForte Clarity! IM my assistant Maia Humphreys if you have any questions. Hope to see you there!

Twisted Krissmuss is a tour of SL stores working together for a common purpose: giving you a financial break during a tough economy. Each store is selling a NEW item of their usual high quality, but charging only 100L instead of their typical price. Our hope is that this will allow you to get a really nice gift for everyone on your list, without having to shorten it or give gifts that aren't as nice as you'd like.

Heart & Sole is very proud to be a sponsor for the tour, and I'm offering a new, exclusive shoe as my item. "Gifted" is a leather open-toe pump with tiny silver accents across the toes and a fat shiny buckle on the ankle cuff. Eight classic colors to choose from, to coordinate effortlessly through the holidays and on into the coming year.

I encourage you to visit the stores on the tour during your holiday shopping. Whatever and however you celebrate the season, we're all here for you.

Just in time for the holidays...introducing the Heart & Sole Giftcard, the perfect gift for everyone on your list!

The vendor is in the store near the new releases, and it couldn't be easier to use. Simple instructions are included with every card, so you or your lucky gift recipient will enjoy shopping with no hassles.

For your convenience, giftcards are available in amounts of 200L, 500L, 1000L, 1500L, or 2000L. Just the right fit for every budget, whether you need a little something for a friend, or a big shopping spree to impress your partner.

About Me

I started Heart & Sole because in RL--I love shoes! When the creative bug bit me in SL it was only natural to start a business designing the kind of footwear we'd all love to wear both in SL and RL.
In RL I'm pretty much the same person I am in SL, and the friends I have in both worlds mean everything to me.
